By tink3472 | Here in the South we can get blooming-size proliferations on the scape before we cut them to plant. There are several methods of doing this, and I'll show you how we do it in our garden.

Frillylily said:Well, what if the prolif has hardly no roots at all? You can root it in water? Just plain water or do you add anything to it and do you change it out everyday? please explain more about that. Michelle I have never had a prolif grow roots like THAT !! wow! I only wish... I am interested in trying this. I feel an experiment brewing...
blue23rose said:I just cut the scape an inch or two below the prolif and stick it in water. Then make sure the water level does not go below the bottom of the prolif until it roots. I usually change the water every day or two. After it gets roots, I plant it. I've never added fertilizer but I found two articles that said they use a fertilizer.

tink3472 said:You can try and get that to root, but you may need rooting hormones and anything may root if you add rooting hormones However, that to me appears to be a normal branch off of the main scape coming from the bract. I was told (especially with seedlings that are being watched) that any bract is a possibility for branching.
